Fade away

    Taken with a Vest Pocket Kodak camera attached to my Sony DSLR A100. The bellows of the VPK work nicely for close up photography.

      A subject which is befitting for an antique camera. I'd like to see you shoot scenery and see the depth of view or what sort of unsharpnes it creates.

      Yeah, I'd like to shoot some scenery as well, but with the recent weather in Helsinki I just haven't felt like going outside to take dreary gray shots.

      Sounds about the same as in Jyväskylä for past weekend.

      its alot sharper than i thought it would be.

      I'm pretty blown away to see that kind of sharpness from a meniscus lens. Very cool.

    13. Arkku (59 months ago | reply)

      It's not taken the VPK with a single meniscus lens, but the other one with the Kodak Anastigmat f/8.

      It's like a ghost in the machine... and in full color, amazing sharp. It's alive.

      Arkku, tama on vasta erinomaista. Ajattele 1914 ja 2006 yhdistelma - ja sellaiset valokuvat!!!
